She's not going to win. Instead, she's going to continue spending money and resources on a lost cause, which will keep her from running an independent general election campaign. That's right, you heard me correctly. And she *would* run in the general election as an independent if she had the resources. You know she would. She would pull a total Lieberman on this. After all, she is willing to take the contest to the convention, which she will outrightly be denied by the DNC. But if she quits the primary, this gives her plenty of time to run a general election campaign against Obama, causing him to lose.

Remember, she knows she can't win now. But she's doing this to hurt Obama as much as possible so he can't win, allowing her one more shot in 2012. And if she runs as an indie in 2008, she will most certainly hurt Obama's chances of winning. She knows at least 28% of her supporters will not vote for Obama in the general election, and if she stays in as an indie... well... lets just say she'll definitely lose her super delegate status as a Democrat.

So, I have to say, stay in the fight Hillary. Keep raising your debt and exposing yourself. Ruin your chances for an indie run.

On edit: she's proven she's desperate enough to try anything. On Fox News Interview, she has threatened a credential battle at the convention floor and she's already started that kind of b.s. in Texas. Lieberman is a perfect example of this tactic and he *won* Connecticut and is a member of the DLC like Clinton (only she's higher ranking in that org). Her staffers have as much as admitted the scorched earth strategy to keep Obama from winning.
